A Democratic congressman said Wednesday that President Barack Obama needs to "man up" and fire someone over the Affordable Care Act's tumultuous rollout.

Without identifying a specific person who should be held accountable, Rep. Rick Nolan (D-MN) told reporters that Obama must "man up, find out who was responsible, and fire them," as quoted by the Associated Press.

Nolan made similar remarks in a phone interview with television station WCCO.

He added, "And I feel that the people responsible for this did a terrible disservice to the Affordable Care Act and to the president by allowing this thing to go forward when they knew it wasn't ready."
